Dining at the WORLD’S NO. 1 RESTAURANT Before It Closes – NOMA
Dining at the WORLD’S NO. 1 RESTAURANT Before It Closes – NOMA
Today, we are back in Copenhagen for the restaurant that turned Denmark into a gastro-nation.
Arguably the best restaurant in the world will close for good at the end of 2024.
It’s name is Noma.
Three years in a row, from 2010 to 2012, Noma was named NO.1 restaurant in the world.
They would go on to claim the number one spot a total of 5…

I think it’s important and intentional to show something less pleasant- that elevates everything else even more!
As a microbiologist I would not eat reindeer brain no matter how it was cooked. The risk of prion disease is low but it is a unique and horrible way to die. And yes, I have eaten fugu.
$1000 for a meal … simple question … why.
Guide to Fermentation????
These videos exemplify the best in the world and the worst in the world. A few hundred meters from here there a several hundred people who are going hungry tonight and are living on the sidewalk. Twenty dollars would change their world. I'm not sure what to do with these emotions.
Gyanitottam en mar korabban h magyar vagy 💪💪💪
Hahha mar reg nezeim a videoid de csak most tudtam meg hogy magyar vagy😂
My cousin died of drug overdose. I took my sister-in-law who was lonely after the tragic death of my cousin to this restaurant. She was really happy and later that night we made love.
Many thanks for the superb content. I just hit "follow", mainly because you are Hungarian. Years ago, an older Hungarian couple took my family under its wing and cooked for us regularly. This was in Reno, Nevada. They opened up an area of the culinary world that I hadn't been exposed to, and I was so impressed. It was not only beyond delicious, it was love. Cooking from the heart. I hope that I can visit Hungary and eat there one day.
Genius food or not, René Redzepi really ought to be called out more for the behaviour he showed at Noma, not paying some of his staff, being overtly threatening and intimidating to employees, etc. 🙁
That is not the best restaurant in the world according to several rankings and people’s choice.
12:49 you paid extra for the fermentation guide. You acted like it was coincidence that the chef came by and explained everything xD
I feel like I would not know what to eat. I'd start nibble away on what is essentially table decor.
I wonder why you didn't name the Japanese sake as you do every other drink
So sad it will be closing 😢
They achieved this with Nordic cuisine, a notoriously terrible cuisine. Imagine if the did it but with a good cuisine, like Chinese or Levantine.
I had this menu back in September. Very overrated. The omelette was good and the reindeer was good but other than that it was just overrated and pretentious food. Michelin needs to be stopped. Giving Three stars to this artsy fartsy crap rather than delicious food. Plus after I left I was so hungry I had to get a cheeseburger. And the kitchen was yelling the whole time. Very unpleasant experience.
If you want really delicious Scandinavian food try Ekstedt in Stockholm.
As someone that's achieved a few rosettes and devoted my life to cooking, i have no idea what any of this tastes like and i'm too poor to ever find out. That's both terrible and exciting. Thank you for that René and Alexander.
Possibly the most pretentious menu I have seen on this excellent channel and the food that I would least like to eat ! But that’s just my own personal opinion .
And I accept that Noma is/was a groundbreaking restaurant of fantastic quality .
Did anyone mention Carmine Berzato?
Too much
01:50 turns out the vast majority of people can't afford fine dining. "Changing what people eat" will never be possible if you keep the entry barrier that high.
great video as usual but this menu looks gross to be honest
Been to Noma and when asked I always describe it as "interesting". It is something you should experience, but taste wise there are a lot of Restaurants I prefer.
As a dane I am tired of hearing about Noma.
They can't even pay their staff a fair wage and keep the place going properly.
it is posh, overpriced BS brought to you with bad morals IMO.
Let it close. It clearly Isn't worth enough to keep going.
Great video. Maybe we should call Rene for "Rene Recipe"
his heavy accent ruins it for me
Common sense tells you Michelin is a racket but this guy is a great salesman.
Dishes? It's just individual snacks imo. Small servings paired with a glass to each dish is not for me. Drink/Food ratio is off for me. Luckily, in Denmark there are many Michelin star restaurants, where you get affordable authentic Nordic food in nicely paired dishes, containing both meats, vegetables, sauce, sours and crisp. I can highly recommend "Møf" in Aarhus. A very underrated restaurant. Super affordable with normal serving sizes. This was interesting and definitely looks better than Noma 1.0 – But I can definitely see this more as a movement, a statement and research facility than a restaurant.
1:44 The Danish word MAD is not pronounced as M-A-D. It is supposed to be M-A-A-L. Please check how to pronounce a foreign language before saying it. Thank you for your great videos.
Alex, u are the man!
Great content/channel, thank you.
I will never afford it, but it is so cool to get an insight.
Cheers from Germany
Pine cone flavor.
You forgot to say ,it was to expensive for regular danes
2000 euros for 2 people???
Personally, something I would absolutely never do, even given I had the money to do it.
I'm over here watching YouTube behind my computer with my spaghetti, mushrooms and beef I just cooked up for no more than 5 euros worth of ingredients, with a bottle of water and lemon and I'm more than happy.
Still, I love that you visit everything that you can in the world and I've been enjoying watching your content.
Elegant restaurant,elegant video.
Just so you know, Noma is notorious for the fact that does not pay its interns and that pays extremely bad and has terrible working conditions. The classic story. 100% keep away.
He cant have dropped out of high school cus we dont really have anything called highschool in denmark (it also must have been illigal bc you do not only have a right to the first 10 years of school but it is requred in denmark) in denmark the school system works like this, you start in 0 grade (or kidsgartenclass) when you are 5 or 6 then you progress until you stop in ninth grade and most places it all is on one school in one place
1:06 pretty sure he didnt drop out of high school, first because high school in denmark is a completely different thing and the people that go there are usually around 25-30 years old, and because you are legally done with your education after 10 years of school, and since most people start school at 5 in denmark, he probably didnt drop out, he just finished school and went straight to culinary school, which isnt even unusual to do if you want to be a chef in denmark. a full education in denmark usually looks like this:
5-6 years old to 15-16 years old; mandatory school
15-16 years old to 16-17 years old; afterschool, which is basically just a boarding school where you dont really do much school and you just chill. people sometimes skip this stage
15-17 years old to 17-21 years old; gymnasium, which is kinda the danish equivalent of american high school. how long this part is depends on which “ve chosen. for example, the shortest ones are HF and EUD, which are only 2 years, and the longest is EUX, which is 4 years. STX, HTX, and HHX are all 3 years with STX being the all-round and most common one. culinary school is an EUD
18-21 years old to 20-30 years old; university, but this one isnt as common as the rest. you also need to go on a gymnasium line that ends with X in order to even be able to get in
Nem is tudtam, hogy magyar….
Always interesting how the rich entertainment themself….
Worst part about worlds best restaurant, he didnt even pay some of his employees. Greedy ass.
NOMA has been on my bucket list ever since I was a kid, hope I can score a reservation before they close 😢
so 700 dollars down. and you're still fucking hungry
edit: "nothing fancy or high end" what the fuck are you on about?????
This is one of the most posh and pretentious things I've ever seen lol
Miss this place. Was fun but bonkers. There are other good places in CPH though. Just avoid geranium 🙂
So happy that we have such amazing cuisine in Denmark 🙂
Holy shit these videos are so fucking good hella underated
Even with 200 000 subscribers this channel is seriously underrated. This channel is seriously amazing.
Too much fuckery going on around the actual food.
